I am very honoured to have been able to write a piece about one of our heroes who we very sadly lost at the weekend, Super Kev ๐
Hopefully, I've captured most Evertonians' thoughts & memories about Kev from the last few days.

Well this was the best Xmas present I've definitely ever had!
Evie Florence born on Xmas Day, had a tough start & we didn't see her until last night. Happily we're now home & Evie is all healthy. Must be a good luck charm too as Everton haven't lost since she's been born! ๐๐ถ๐ป๐
Feel sorry for the Derby County fans, staff & players today.
Remember a year ago we were being told don't punish the fans when they tried to start the ESL.
Really it's just about protecting the big clubs & the structure of football in this country won't survive as it is.
I'm honoured to be Chair of the Fans' Forum for this upcoming season ๐
With such a momentus year ahead for our football club, we are looking for Evertonians to join us & have a real impact on fan engagement & projects directly with the club โฌ๏ธ
Feel free to DM me for more info.
The Fans' Forum new season of recruitment is now open!
In one of the most momentus times in Everton's history, we are seeking passionate & opiniated Blues from all backgrounds to join us.
Please apply by following the link below & send by the 22nd July.

I wasn't even there & it's a good job I've met Leighton before or I would have been fuming! ๐คฃ
Nice one

For those who flouted the lockdown rules over the last week, popped to B&Q because they were bored, met mates in the park, ignored social distancing... THEN READ THIS... timeline & circumstances should make you think about your actions!

Appalling decisions by the officials in the massive game at Bournemouth in the 1st half.

I knew when I arranged to go up for the Palace game when it was rearranged it would end up being the 'one'.
Night game, Goodison under the lights ๐
Treat it like its Bayern in '85, Man U in '05, Fiorentina in '08.
Our destiny is still in our hands.

Need some help in the Lower Gwladys tomorrow to get various

This will be part of a massive banner & flag display pre-match tomorrow ๐ต
If you can help then reply & I'll DM you back, must have your seat in the Lower Gwladys.
Cheers!

Already know the best Xmas present is coming this year! ๐
Our Toffee girl due late December, or Newcastle at home for those who do dates just by the fixture list... ๐ถ๐ป๐
Very disturbing report this, replace Arsenal with Everton & Edu with potentially Tim Cahill.
The role he has played in transfers already & his appearance at Goodison yesterday is extremely worrying.

Said I'd take safety before May at the start, before the deducted points. Didn't look likely 7 days ago, but what a week for this football club ๐
Well done to the manager, players & staff ๐

On my way up for the match tonight, 1st trip to Goodison for a while & since our lovely baby daughter was born.
Evie is with us for her 1st trip to Merseyside too, which is great as its distracting me from thinking about tonight too much! ๐
#UTFT
Gerrard gone there, just ignored the away fans completely.
Unlike Lampard he's never wanted to connect with the fanbase, or most of his players it seems. Villa have gone nowhere, probably backwards, since he's come in.
A huge thanks to everyone for voting me in to represent you on the

Also, a big thank you to everyone who applied to be part of the forum. The standard this year was excellent.
Up the Toffees ๐๐ค
Get the fuck in!!! ๐
Immense performance from all those players tonight, & also credit to Dyche on how he's got those two wins out of them after that Chelsea horror show.
I think, once again, they've lost the league at Goodison Park!

Some speech by
@ElBobble
there, proper passion while going through the current manager situation. Said it like we're all feeling, absolute disgraceful way to run & manage a football club, my football club!
Interesting comments from ex-ref Keith Hackett below, certainly sounds like the referee bottled it with Cavani last week. Weak referees has been a constant annoyance in this country for some time...

Liverpool fans actually setting fire to one of the city's most historical buildings which has their badge emblem of a Liverbird sitting on top of it. Staggering really & let's wait to see who they blame for this one... ๐
I should never be front & centre of this, but I'll never be prouder to be so ๐
Thank you to all Evertonians for what you've done, in the most crazy & weird circumstances this season! Especially the brilliant

All of Stamford Bridge was singing it to us last week. However at Palace a few days before not a peep of this song. Some fan bases just like being the sheep.

Good luck Ellis, good step up for him compared to his other loans. Also be good to play in front of the most passionate fanbase in the North East!
A fantastic 13 mile walk around London today for the great charity
@alzheimerssoc
which tries to combat the awful disease of dementia ๐
On a side note I spotted this great new coach company in action Coach Innovations, tourists were loving their service! ๐
So Anthony Taylor how is that a straight red card & Van Dijk's challenge at Goodison got a yellow & no VAR review when you were in charge?! No difference in those two challenges to me!
Usual over reaction with a 1st pre-season result & performance.
Arsenal already played twice, full squad more sharper & well into their work.
Don't get me wrong, lots to do & need reinforcements. Great to see some of the younger players play the 2nd half & perform well.

Been a tough week personally, but a trip to this place always lifts the spirits ๐
This team now has an identity & clean sheets are so much more attainable.
Great goal from Maupay, Iwobi is playing his best football ever & we won not even playing at our best.

Risking your eldest son's health by going to Sainsburys not wearing a mask at the moment should be educational for you, but let's gloss over that & have a pop at Sainsburys for trying to contain the virus... ๐

Don't worry our Hermes deliveries come to the flat reception and say they've been left in the 'Greenhouse'... ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ
Disappointing result yesterday, though we looked compact & Tarkowski was brilliant. The striker issue was always going to hurt us.
Cracking weekend mind, great to meet the usual top Blues & some new ones too! Time to pack the flat & in 3 days we move back up here!

A very special 1st Father's Day for me, Evie is a bundle of joy everyday ๐
Great we will spend it with my Dad too, his 1st Grandad day. His health hasn't been the best recently, but we'll enjoy today!
Thoughts also for all those who no longer have their Dad with us ๐
A massive thanks to everyone that has supported us in our 1st season! ๐๐

Great to meet some of the engagement team from the club & the other members.
Pleased to hear the pre-match fanzone will be back from the 1st game & away team back in the usual dressing room.
Plenty of activity for the upcoming US tour too! ๐

Ancelotti has decided to leave, it's done, move on. No one is bigger than the football club. Give Brands the summer transfer plans, get a manager in who is going to play a progressive & quicker style of football. We have to get the right blend of squad first & foremost.
#UTFT
Looking forward to reading this from
@paulmcparlan
when I get time, my 1st ever full season supporting the Toffees. Definitely not forgotten for me & certain they'll be new stories to read that I may have missed when I was 7 years old... ๐
Fantastic feeling to be getting back to Goodison today in 18 months, been too long especially as the last time I was there we lost a 2-0 lead in injury time!
